The protest was prompted by the recent cessation conducted mass CVG Minerven labor and the subsequent appointment of a recovery committee by the Ministry of Basic Industries and Mining (Mibam).
"We are here to support the current management of CVG Minerven since he was the victim of a work stoppage of more than 15 days. And last year the situation was repeated several times, causing great economic losses subsequently reflected in the cash flow management. So we want to call for thought definitely understand to look for other options, "said Victor Centeno, regional coordinator of the Movimiento Revolucionario Alfredo Maneiro.

Also, Linares said that "besides Mibam members, including the current oversight board, headed by Franklin Skate-and which we consider illegal, some representatives of the Governor of Bolivar State and local governments seek to take over production the main state gold company, which has been a key driver of this whole campaign of destabilization that we have been witnessing. "
Regarding the current situation Minerven and lack of inputs, the demonstrators were responsible for the unions, who accuse them of not doing their jobs.

Even reverse strikes in the production bonus is often perceived. "

Origin of place
Elvis Soto Sinmior secretary-general reported that the march was organized because they do not accept that the comptroller committee is working closely with trade unionists and workers.
"These people come from other municipalities have received money management and many do not know the reason for the protest. You ask them and say inconsistencies. Coincidentally, the week we were not paid and are confident that this occurred because the money had another target: to sponsor whole logistics of this event, "he said.
